The Innovative Analytics team within Financial Crime (FC) Analytics looks at innovating Economic Crime processes using data, technology and streamlining methodologies. The team’s remit spans across all areas of AML, including the Economic Crime Operations, Transaction Monitoring, Screening, Reporting and Customer Risk Assessment. A big part of the role will be working with newly established electronic Identification and Verification (eID&V) technologies, with a focus on the testing and validation of scorecards, rules, and configurations. The work will be project-based, and successful applicants will have a mix of strong technical, problem solving, and change management skills.
During a period of change and evolution, we see it as essential to have the right mindset and attitude, so we are looking for someone who enjoys challenges and remains positive whilst navigating through them. The ideal candidate can work proactively and independently, whilst leveraging the expertise and knowledge of other stakeholders, and spot opportunities by understanding the data, systems, and technologies at their disposal. They will need the confidence to then develop, deliver and document these opportunities, tracking benefits and managing BAU support.
At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.

based at either our Swindon or London office.

They can choose a modern mutual instead. What to do next

Unlike the banks we are owned by our members, not shareholders. That’s anyone who banks, saves or has a mortgage with us. Which means we can always focus on what’s best for them. It’s our fundamental difference and what makes us a good way to bank.
